But why?īecause different games load the GPU differently and (using my GTX 1080 as an example) capping to 1923MHz at 0.95V is very efficient, some games will use 160W and some will use 120W. You can also effectively set an exact MHz and voltage by using the curve editor and while I did that religiously in the past with all my Nvidia GPUs, IMO it is less performance-efficient than doing the above. If you want to save power, you can set a power cap in addition to that, say at 150W or 200W for your 2070S, and the card will vary it's clock speed and voltage continuously to match that power limit. If it doesn't need to use that maximum power, it downclocks and undervolts in tandem to save power, depending on the GPU demand. Instead I usually control undervolting or power usage on my Nvidia cards by overclocking the GPU to where it's at max but still stable (usually +150 to +210MHz, depending on the card). Sometimes it might not OC at all, other times to 2.6 or 2.8 (depending on a variety of factors like heat, power usage, battery life, etc).That is how is generally works with my Nvidia cards (though I don't use Afterburner for my AMD cards). The technology detects when its 'okay' to be OC'd and goes from there. Thank you for the info btw man.Īlso, the CPU is at 2.8GHz because of Intel Turbo Boost Technology which will basically OC the CPU on its own up to 3.0GHz for this CPU model. If you have any other questions let me know! Sometimes it might not OC at all, other times to 2.6 or 2.8 (depending on a variety of factors like heat, power usage, battery life, etc). If you can play games like that then its probably fine (its not really necessary).Īlso, the CPU is at 2.8GHz because of Intel Turbo Boost Technology which will basically OC the CPU on its own up to 3.0GHz for this CPU model. What you're doing now is adding 135mhz to the GPU's core clock and 600mhz to its memory clock.
In fact, you're not overclocking the CPU, but rather the Graphics Card (GPU). The first being MSI Afterburner doesn't overclock the CPU. This is an interesting question for a number of reasons.
